Fitment and apparatus and method for transporting

摘要

A fitment (16b) for use as a pour spout for a paper carton or flexible bag for liquids and powders has a flange (17b) which may be welded around a hole in the carton or bag. A spout projecting outward from the flange is provided with a removable membrane (32b) integral with the interior of the spout. Preferably, the membrane is concave. A horizontally disposed pull ring (39b) may be attached to the membrane by a connector so that pulling the ring removes the membrane by fracturing the tear line at the juncture of the outer edge of the membrane and the projection. A cap snaps over the spout and may be removed by unscrewing the complementary threads on cap and spout. Optionally, a tamper-evidencing band frangibly connected to the lower edge of the cap skirt engages the exterior of the spout so that the cap cannot be removed without breaking the frangible connection.
